Hello Raghu, *Google Web Toolkit* (*GWT*) is an open source<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source>Java software development framework <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_framework> that allows web developers <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_developer> to create and maintain complex JavaScript <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript>front-end applications in Java <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_language%29>. Other than a few native libraries, everything is Java source that can be built on any supported platform with the included GWT Ant build files. It is licensed under the Apache License <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_License>version 2.0.<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Web_Toolkit#cite_note-0> GWT emphasizes reusable <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reusability>, efficient solutions to recurring Ajax<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29>challenges, namely asynchronous remote procedure calls <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_procedure_call>, history management, bookmarking<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_bookmark>, and cross-browser portability <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porting>. http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/overview.html Hope this helps :-) -- Cheers, Pratik K Anand [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
